I have a Canon G3 with a 1GB memory card. The image quality is great, but the camera isn't made for professional photographers. It's more of a snapshot camera suitable to beginner photography students. It's a high quality digital, but setting options, zooming, setting shutter speed and aperture requires a lot of button…
Right its been a while but i have my base mesh completed for now. It's still open to some more tweaks but its going to be put into Zbrush later today so no major changes (unless really needed). I've had to tweak my character due to me not being able to look at the Krall skeleton from Unreal 3 when i was making the concept.…
So I finished my first playthrough on the Engineer (Aegis Tanktastic Build). Game is pretty awesome. ONLY complaint is lack of story, but the sheeeeer fun factor, the gameplay, the quest design totally overshadow any complaint I could have. I'm going to invest a hell of a lot more time in this game making alts than I did…
Actually those are already built in maya natively and I believe was adapted from Nex, except partial ring which is not working well and this is something I miss the most in Max. When you double click an edge, it will perform full loop. Select first loop and ctrl+shift or shift double click the second 'end' edge will do…
I think one of the main things affecting what card you go for now is if you want to play Crysis when it's out, and if so if you want to play it at it's higher settings. I've heard that crysis multiplayer servers will be divided into dx9 and dx10 servers (dx10 will have more physics stuff going and things), so keep that in…
Both, most likely. It usually is just the classes that have changed plus the classes that depend on those. But because the classes that deal with rendering are used pretty much everywhere in the engine, almost all of it has to be recompiled anyway. A full engine build should take between 1.5 and 3 hours on relatively…
Oh damn you are missing out on a buch! There are just way to many awesome scripts like the seneca ones, the Eterea Swiss Knife(bunch of tools)(http://community.thefoundry.co.uk/discussion/topic.aspx?f=119&t=81124), Eterea Slice Presets(makes subd modeling so much…
Hey thanks for all the replies, guys! This is my first game model, so I'm probably gonna sound really stupid. Anyway I really appreciate all the feedback. I think what was screwing it up was the spike. It was really hard to resolve them corner pieces. In retrospect, it would have been a lot easier just to keep it on a…
Pelt Mapping came with Max8 and I love it. I'll say it again in case you are hard of reading, PELT MAPPING. Google it, look it up in the help/tutorials Docs that come with Max (F1). Once you get the simple work flow down it saves hours of time. Being able to draw your seams down edges instead of cleaning up seams by…
It doesn't crash for me, but there is about a 4 second system freeze when I run the script. Adding the 3rd line isn't causing the slow down. I can add 10 lines quickly, it's right after it draws the scrollbar that the freeze happens. I'm not sure this is the right place to use multithreading. Even the regular 3ds Max UI is…
